Description
A delightful twist on the classic tiramisu, featuring fresh mixed berries for a refreshing and indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until well combined and smooth.
- In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur, if using.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then layer half of the mixed berries on top.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and berries.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with additional berries if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add cocoa powder to the mascarpone mixture or use chocolate-flavored ladyfingers.
- Substitute the mixed berries with seasonal fruits like peaches or cherries for a different flavor profile.
